"What greater gift than the love of a cat.." -- Charles Dickens
I think we all can agree with this quote! :-)
Happy Caturday!
Hate to post and run, but I will be gone all day Saturday, so I will comment late.
I read several Twain novels when I was a teen, but I became a fan when I read his social commentary in college.
So many quotations are attributed to Twain that are things he never said nor wrote. I made sure mine were all genuine Twainisms. They can be found with many others, researched by Twain Scholar Barbara Schmidt at: www.twainquotes.com/quotesatoz.html
One of my favorite quotes, not in the image above:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
I found these funny quotations and wanted to share these with you. I hope it makes you laugh.Have a wonderful day Everyone!
“There is no darkness but ignorance”.
One can only hope that we do not move to the Orwellian sense of light, “to the place where there is no darkness”.

في ذكرى مرور مائة عام على احتلال فرنسا للجزائر ، وقف الحاكم الفرنسي في الجزائر يقول : "يـجـب أن نـزيـل الـقرآن العربي من وجودهم..ونقتلع اللسان العربي من ألسنتهم ؛ حتى ننتصر عليهم "
وبعد ذلك بسنوات قلائل :
قـامـت فـرنـسا - من أجل القضاء على القرآن في نفوس شباب الجزائر - بتجربة عملية ؛ فـتم انـتـقاء عـشـرة فـتـيات مسلمات جزائريات ، أدخلتهن الحكومة الفرنسية في المدارس الفرنسية ، ولقنتهن الثـقـافة الفرنسية ، وعلمتهن اللغة الفرنسية ، فأصبحن كالفرنسيات تماماً.
وبـعـد أحـد عـشـر عـاماً مـن الجهود ، هيأت لهن حفلة تخرج رائعة دعي إليها الوزراء والمفكرون والصحفيون...
ولمـا ابـتدأت الحـفلـة ، فـوجـئ الجميع بالفتيات الجزائريات يدخلن بلباسهن الإسلامي الجزائري..
فثارت ثائرة الصحف الفرنسية ، وتساءلت : "ماذا فعلت فرنسا في الجزائر إذن بعد مرور مائة وثمانية وعشرين عاما؟!
أجـاب "لاكـوسـت " وزير المسـتـعمـرات الـفرنـسي :"ماذا أصنع إذا كان القرآن أقوى من فرنسا؟"

Poetography "bright" - quotation from George Bernard Shaw.
Window Wednesdays - HWW!
7DOS geometry (lines, curves cone...)
George Bernard Shaw quotation . It refers to my belief that we can, we must.....believe for a healthy Earth, more highly evolved Earthlings. Expecting the worst never brought good results for me, and I am determined now to believe for good things, expect good things. It's so easy to look around and see with our eyes the Earth getting sicker, the end getting closer. But we are "little pieces of God" (Wayne Dyer) , even as a drop of our blood contains our makeup (DNA). If we call upon our Creator, who loves us and all the Earth, and determine to have faith "as a grain of mustard seed".....we can turn things around! Let's try it. Let's envision a healthy planet, people who care about each other and all living things. Let's speak words of faith and positivity. Let's see the essence of God in a sunset and a tree; be still and feel HIs Presence.
I'm not a churchgoer, but I am a Believer. Who senses the impossible miracle of life, and is very grateful.

Created for Mixmaster 13 in the Artistic Manipulation Group following Chef Beth's recipe:
➤ Your image must be a pure, non-representational abstract.
➤ It may NOT contain any recognizable objects or beings. Note: it may be digital art from a blank canvas and/or a photo manipulation, as long as the subject of the photo is not recognizable in the final result.
➤ Your image must convey/embody an emotion.
➤ The title of your image must be a quotation that includes the name of whatever emotion you have chosen.
➤ Your image must use three distinct colors/hues (besides black and white which are optional). Note: light, medium and dark blue are NOT distinct hues; blue, green and purple are.
This abstract started as a blank grey canvass to which I added layers of texture, and purple, blue and green paint using brushes in Photoshop Elements 13.
The texture layers are my own.
I found these funny quotations and wanted to share these with you. I hope it makes you laugh.Have a wonderful day Everyone!
Michel Houellebecq :
La société érotique-publicitaire où nous vivons s'attache à organiser le désir, à développer le désir dans des proportions inouïes, tout en maintenant la satisfaction dans le domaine de la sphère privée. Pour que la société fonctionne, pour que la compétition continue, il faut que le désir croisse, s'étende et dévore la vie des hommes
The erotic-publicity minded society in which we live endeavours to organise and develop desire to unprecedented levels, while maintaining satisfaction within the sphere of private life. So that society may function and competition persist, desire must increase, spread out and devour the lives of men
La società erotico-pubblicitaria in cui viviamo si adopera a organizzare il desiderio, a sviluppare il desiderio in proporzioni inaudite, mantenendo la soddisfazione nella sfera della vita privata. Perché la società funzioni, perché la competizione continui, bisogna che il desiderio cresca, si estenda e divori la vita degli uomini
La sociedad erótico-publicitaria en la que vivimos se afana en organizar el deseo, en desarrollar el deseo hasta proporciones inauditas, mientras mantiene la satisfacción en la esfera privada. Para que la sociedad funcione, para que la competición continúe, es necesario que el deseo crezca, se extienda y devore la vida de los hombres
Die erotisch öffentlich eingestellte Gesellschaft in der wir leben befasst sich damit, das Verlangen zu organisieren und zu unerreichter Größe zu steigern und hält dabei die Befriedigung immer im privaten Bereich. Damit diese Gesellschaft funktioniert und der Wettbewerb weiter bestehen kann, muss das Verlangen wachsen, sich ausbreiten und das Leben der Menschen verschlingen
A sociedade erótico-publicitária em que vivemos desdobra-se para organizar o desejo, para desenvolver o desejo de modo exagerado, mantendo a satisfação na esfera privada. Para que a sociedade funcione, para que a competição continue, é preciso fazer com que o desejo aumente, até que devore a vida dos homens
引頸期盼已久的「QUOTATION No.4」 終將於7月27日正式発売，這回表紙配色為低彩度的粉紅系，在店架平台上相當醒目突出。據說從下一期起封面設計又會展現全新面貌，維持每兩期變換一次風格的策略，可說是十分懂得掌握讀者的嘗鮮心理。像我這種創意麻瓜，假如沒有定期補充「QUOTATION」這劑營養針的話，後果簡直不堪設想。比方這一期便介紹了活躍於海外的10位日本各領域創作者，其中至少有八成以上都是一些我從未聽聞的新銳，包括Junko Shimizu、Kenta Torimoto、Noriko Okaku、Sayaka Yamamoto、Yu Yamaguchi等人…而另外國際最前線單元，柏林特別報導的最夯創意據點及話題人物更是熱得發燙，不由得暗暗佩服蜂賀亨情報採集的一流功力。本期最後還專訪了主事操刀「PIN-UP」、「SUPERSUPER」兩本文化刊物視覺的芸術總監；真的不是我偏心愛敲邊鼓，而是QUOTATION實在太精彩。
Giving a man a fish and he will have something to eat for a day; teaching a man to fish and he will have something to eat for a lifetime; giving a man religion and he will die praying for a fish to come to him

No Quotation this time, but a story. Yesterday I read a very interesting article about street non-photography during night time.
I was intrigued to try it out and left my tripod, remote and lenses at home. I just picked my 50mm 1.4 lens and tried some night (non-)photography. While I was walking through the pedestrian zone of my hometown, I met Torsten, who was standing in the middle of the road.
He was accompanied by a big sports bag and a bottle of beer, selling his "revolutionary newspaper", a political science fiction romance.
In Torstens own words this novel contained suspence from the first to the last sentence and talked about aliens, religion, conspiracy, the UN and the WHO
......all on 5 handwritten pages.
He was selliing his literary debut for a discount price of 1 Euro.
I couldn't really force myself do buy a copy after reading the first sentence, but I gave him the Euro anyway and asked for his approval to take his picture instead.
So here it is, Torsten and his novel at 3200 iso on a monday evening in my first conscious non-photography shot. If you can read german and want to desperatly read torstens "book", give me a shout and I arrange contact with him.
Take your choice:
"Don't be a fish; be a frog.
Swim in the water and jump when you hit ground. "
~ Kim Young-ha ~
. . . or if a fish, just hope when the frog hits ground,
there is a pond nearby!
Whatever way you interpret this quotation,
it kinda seems like a lose lose situation! LOL . . .
This frog sculpture was sitting outside a garden store, just begging to be photographed! The fish only appeared during processing, as a little blue thing that looked like a fish!
Somehow frogs are hopping all over the place lately!
